Exposing the Silence: Indigenous Voices in the Buffalo Range

The original poem talks about the tough lives of buffalo hunters, but it completely ignores the Native American communities who were deeply affected by the near extinction of the buffalo. For Native Americans, the buffalo was more than just an animal, it was essential for their survival, culture, and spiritual beliefs. By leaving out their voices, the poem hides the damage caused by colonialism, destroying the ecosystem and erasing the Native American culture.
